Children of Working Mothers. Special Labor Force Report. Bulletin 2158.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (DOL), Washington, DC.

Part of a Special Labor Force Report series, this bulletin on children of working mothers discusses the increase in the number of children with working mothers as of March 1981, and describes major reasons for this growth. The bulletin consists of an article first published February 1982 in the "Monthly Labor Review," additional tables providing more detailed data, and explanatory notes concerning basic labor force concepts, sample design, estimating methods, and reliability of the CPS data. Data were compiled from questions supplementary to the March 1981 Current Population Survey (CPS), which was conducted and tabulated for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census.
